Hello Tom, I hope I find you well. I'm in a wheelchair, I did your style hive, only two high, now I'd like to go higher. Thank you for your videos, I'm getting ready for spring in Michigan in the U.S.A., I have time as you know time goes, so it's time to plan. I will be getting your books as I like how you do your sets, just to tell you thank you for your knowledge, again Hello from Michigan.
Not the first time I have seen a video of a beekeeper not using queen excluders. I don't like them either and I have found they aren't a necessity. Still I keep one or two around just in case. I would really like to see the construction of those hives and frames.
Man I think your Mentor should have told you to put them on top lol that is one heck of a big Hive to bottom super and move all that stuff every time well each week.. not knocking you at all . .that's one awesome Hive very good job!!!
Starting at 5:00 we get a look at an amazing house - where is this? Tomorrow I'm in the Everglades and Sunday I get to take honey off some very tough Florida bees. I'm used to some gentle Italians, and this is my first brush with africanized......Looks like these "black irish" are some tough characters as well.
Best view of eggs I have seen on an actual inspection. You said you didn't see swarm cells and were happy because you wanted their numbers to grow...but wasn't that 2 uncapped queen cells at 49 seconds?
Of course it should have said wouldnt like them so high but I think you got that. I agree it makes a nice stong colony which is restricted in langstroth hives when using a queen excluder. If someone was already using langstroth hives they could easily convert to this style by taking out the queen excluder and using their existing boxes so there is no need to buy a whole new set of gear.
Probably the best video so far that explains the frame, very impressed i will try this method of explaining each frame. Thank you some times when the flow starts i add a empty box or 2 to the middle but add a upper entrance, the forager bees then have a separate entrance to the top boxes. But must be careful this way for robbing, that said as soon as i see robbing i loose the upper entrance. Thank you for sharing one can learn from this Norseman Honey
Tim said he had been stung a few times. How is that possible when he is completely covered? This is a great video David .May bees If I can overcome my fear I will keep some bees.
Hi tim can you tell me the method of feeding honey to your bees if it's needed? I have cut all of my full size brood boxs to the same as my supers, and have changed to tbe rose hive method. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards Graeme Hunter.
Interesting. Don't you find that splitting the brood nest - and isolating the bees in the (say) top box from the queen for a time - encourages the bees in the 'queenless' box to produce queen cells? When adding a new box during the brood nest expansion phase, do you put a couple of frames of brood in the new, middle box, to link the bees in the upper and lower boxes and ensure the transmission of queen pheromone to all bees in the hive?
What sort of method do you use if you find swarm cells? Can't see an artificial swarm being practical in a colony that size. Do you do some sort of walk away split?
Hi Tim, In terms of space in each box, is there a rule of thumb you use to indicate when they need a new box? FOr example, there's only 3 frames free in that box i'll add another or do you wait until it's completely full? I ask because i was out to the bees the other day in the rose hive and they have about 3 free frames in the bottom box and there two at the very back on the top one . The brood is at the front from top to bottom, on the sunny side and the top is mostly honey. Thanks
That's my thoughts too. We need to make more bees than we would normally have kept. So if one is a beekeeper of 2 hives. Then having four is a safer bet. There are so many more new beekeepers starting and most have to wait a long time before they get some bees.
awesome, I started beekeeping this spring and now I can't wait til next year to try this method.I have one question though,aren't these high hives unstable in a storm?
I have two questions. Do you let your hives grow throughout the summer months and harvest honey as you go into the fall months? I know some beeks who will harvest early summer after the first nectar flow and then in the fall. Also, if you do find capped queen cells on the bottom do you split the hive right then by finding the old queen, place her in a new box with nurse bees, brood and food and leave the original hive to raise the new queen?
Hi Tim, Keep the videos coming, enjoyed your book, ordered a month or two ago. Maybe a trial for next year now that the season is warming up... unlike the weather!!. I'd be really interested if you would share the construction of your home, it looks really pretty and well settled in the background of your garden. Was it a self-build?
so how often do u have to empty a hive or service it, if that's what u want to call it?? do u change out all of the frames every time or just some of them? if the hives are stacked up, one on top another, does each one have a queen or just one queen for all the boxes? does the frame have something for the bees to build on and deposit the honey and build the comb? what is that? do u need to wear a suit to handle the bees, or can u just do it without a suit, safety? I saw a guy handle with bees without any suit, or do it depend on the type of bees? lots to learn here! just wondering!
I like the idea however at a certain height the boxes sort of become hard to manage. I wonder if a extra long top bar hive could be used in a similar fashion as you can shift the honey combs over and then add new bars between that and the brood cells.
If you add too many foundation frames surely you get tunneling? I.e. they will build centrally and not across all frames. Also split the brood with a weak colony in bad weather and you get brood chill.
I just getting started my bee's will be here next week, so this is all interesting. I see you have no sugar water or feed patties is that because of the area your in? also do you ever have problem with mites etc? just wonder you take on all that what you might use.
I've had bee hives regularly over 6 foot high with queen excluders and a national deep + super for the brood chamber, so not sure that there is really an advantage to this method. However I like the idea of the mid size and also no need for queen excluder
I know this is an old post but I have a question ,someone keeps bees roughly half a kilometer away from me ,would it be a problem for me to start keeping bees ,
+reffoelcnu alouncelal Yes and no. If they have a lot of coloneys in their place like 20 or more you might at times not have enough forage. All depends on what is in flower in your area and how much of it. One other isue is if they have the same bee as you will keep. If they have a different strain then you will get crosses. It can happen that your bees will get more agresive or you end up with a trait in your bees that was not there before. May be good or bad. It will start after you have new queens fully mated and laying. Thats what I would be thinking about. But generaly I would not worry. Hope that helped. David.
perfect for setting up a swarm trap. Get a empty hive with some used frames with wax of course and put some lemon grass essential oil in a zip lock baggie on a cotton swab in the hive. zip it up all the way but the last inch..dab some oil on the outside entrance..set it out in the early spring..you will catch one or two or three..I got 3 from one spot this year
weeds manly :) Nature provides all the flowers the bees need. But then a field full of green manures like Trifolium incarnatum and Phacelia tanacetifolia works real great too. Great for the soil too.
Outstanding video! Very good presentation. I just started keeping bees again after a 10 year pause, here in south Texas. My bees are very gentle, but these bees seemed a bit aggressive. Wonder what strain of bees these are and also where the video was filmed. Seems to me somewhere in Australia.
Cheers, They are the black Irish bee. This was filmed in Ireland. These bees are always more agressive than bees in the rest of europe or even places like India.
How to Videos Organic Gardening & Beekeeping by Work With Nature I think you're wrong about the 'rest of Europe', as you put it! I have Apis m.m. ('black' bees) in Austria, which have queens that have mated with both black and Carnica (Apis m.c.) drones, and this cross-breed is the European equivalent of the so-called killer bee. Great for hygiene and resistance and productivity, not so comfortable for beekeepers - and having seen this video, I can assure you, you ain't seen nothing yet!
Kevin Brown Well Kevin in this video they where quite tame. What I meant is in Europe you will over all have tamer bees due to weather and race. When you mix bees then of course you have some mad bees sometimes. Like when we had some buckfast bees next door. Some of my hives where even more mean than usual. Even though buckfast are meant to be nice. But then other traits come to the for ground. I still feel that beekeeping in many parts of Europe is easier than back in Ireland though. I have watched quite a few vids on killer bees and they remind me of a just bad tempered population of Irish bees :)
How to Videos Organic Gardening & Beekeeping by Work With Nature Thanks for your quick reply. Nice to hear back from you. Do you happen to know to what extent the Irish black bees are dífferent from the Scottish black bees that I had when I was living there, and the Austrian ones that I have now? They are all Apis mellifera mellifera, rather than Apis m. carnica or Italian bees (Apis m. liguista) or Buckfast bees (Apis m. Brother Adam, or whatever?!), so I presume that as a race they must be pretty much the same in terms of characteristics and temperaments. Or? Best wishes, Kevin
Reading the Bibba newsletter suggests that the Irish black strain has less mixing. This can be seen by looking at the wings of the bees. Google morphometry.
Stil I would at least put 2-3 frames of brood into the box of emty frames. Bees would make a bridge betwean boxes they know and use the box faster. your way you are almost makeing a split
How often do you re-queen? Or do you? . I have always used deeps as honey supers though they weigh in full at 45 kg (100 lbs). KEEP BEES that is a great video thank you for sharing
No problem. Tim usually lets them live. I do the same also. But unless she is old we just make more splits and end up with plenty new hives full of bees and a queen. David.
I hope they don't mind if I answer your question :) Brood cells are always convex/domed and porous so the developing bees can breath... drone comb really REALLY is domed and sticks out. Honey is always capped smooth and somewhat concave or flat in appearance... annnd is sealed air tight. :) I hope that helped
depends on several factors. 1 . if you are alergic to bee venom yes you will die. 2 if you rattle them to a point where the whole hive is on you ( roughly 100.000 bees ) you will die. 3 if you drop just a frame in a box you should be able to flee before anything major happens , asuming ofcourse you didnt stumble around silly.
WOW those are crazy big hives. So why not use a queen excluder screen to segregate out the top box(es) from brood?. And why not use supers instead of full depth hive bodies? (isn't this a weight issue?) answered. What does he do to "treat" for verroa?
The reason is because excluders are not needed. The brood moves down again by the time you wish to take of the honey. Also you could use only suppers. It is only a weight issue. Lastly Tim like myself uses Apiguard + varroa floor as a treatment. 96% effective. This is the highest amount of effectiveness with any treatment. Cheers David.
Work With Nature Thanks for the answer. I love your channel and posts. One last question ... How does this exchange/mixing of boxes between hives work? I always thought that was a major no-no and that it promoted cross hive theft and potential spread of any disease (Foulbrood, etc.). No issue?
Hey no Prob :) And thanks for letting me know. If you really want to be careful. Then number your hive & hive parts and stack accordingly. It is best not to mix hives up. But it is OK to start new ones from non diseased ones. Best wishes David.
Ya know i'm actually "Afraid" of bees- but i'm not actually afraid- I'm just not a big fan of them landing on my face. Lol Ironically I wanna be a bee keeper (no allergies nothing of the sort to them. I've just been stung in the face so time they make me squirm.)
I love that warm humming sound you get when you open up the hive and put your ear to the frames. I do it every time I do an inspection.
I Love Bees thank you for taking good care of these beautiful creatures.
Love and Peace
i like all your flowers in your yard. Heck you can even plant them on your roof!
I love that house and the way it's built!
good camera. good autofocus. foreground and background both sharp and colours very real too.
Glad to have people like you actually giving bee´s the chance to reproduce, So good on you sir. :D
What a lovely house! I plan to keep bees once I've finished my degree they're the most amazing animals in the world
I can confirm this method is very good.
Keep up the good work.
Great video. Nice to see the details of what is going through your mind as you inspect!
You guyz are "The Bomb Mates" love watching your videos ( VERY informative ) getting ready for my packages !! Thanks a lot for sharing !!
I love the house and property!
Thank you the teaching video is great!

very good video ! very informative, I really love beekeeping and absorb all information I can about them.
I love the grass on the house...
Hi from Ukraine. Great video! I like that idea let queen to lay eggs everywhere. Also a house with grass on the roof is awesome.
Thanks you very much for your videos.
Best regards from CHILE! south américa.
Beekeeper united!
Thank you for funny and interesting Video about beekeeping! Best greetings from Ukrainian beekeepers in Kiev, Ukraine! :)

Sometimes the bees can sting threw the suit. Or depend on what type of gloves you have. My bees stung me twice this weekend with my suit on
Great video and obviously it works. I could never work that tall hive though.
Красота ! Спасибо Очень понравилось!
Does the smoke make the bees calm down ?
I was walking with my family one day and a found a small honey comb with honey on it it was on the floor and abondond and it now lives in my shelf!
So beautiful

What a cool house and home 🏡🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝💖💕
Lily Banana yeah he built it himself aswel with a little help.
The more bees the better!
That's my thoughts too. We need to make more bees than we would normally have kept. So if one is a beekeeper of 2 hives. Then having four is a safer bet. There are so many more new beekeepers starting and most have to wait a long time before they get some bees.
Would you ever put an empty box of frames under the broad nest or should the broad box always be on the bottom?
Interesting way to keep bees, not sure which is better one colony of 8 brood boxes or 3 hives instead.!!??
awesome, I started beekeeping this spring and now I can't wait til next year to try this method.I have one question though,aren't these high hives unstable in a storm?
i do comb honey...how do you keep brood from being in the honey supers with no queen excluder??
Would it be possible to use the frames without any wax at all or just a thinner line as a start? Kind of the way some do TBH's
I have two questions. Do you let your hives grow throughout the summer months and harvest honey as you go into the fall months? I know some beeks who will harvest early summer after the first nectar flow and then in the fall. Also, if you do find capped queen cells on the bottom do you split the hive right then by finding the old queen, place her in a new box with nurse bees, brood and food and leave the original hive to raise the new queen?
Interesting concept. I would like the boxes so high it looks very cumbersome having to lift them so high.
awesome and i like the grass ^^
Hi Tim,

I'd be really interested if you would share the construction of your home, it looks really pretty and well settled in the background of your garden. Was it a self-build?
Do this method work with deeper frames or does it have to be these shallow frames
I love seeing hugh hives of bees, dont use wired foundation tho..
I have had a couple 9 box hives, which i i always split due to height lol
Very inventive
very awesome video!!
I like your set up, maybe I will try this set up here in the Philippines and see if its work in my tropical place.
good to see Tim from way out west blown in !
Yeah this video was all before that :)
When you put a box in the middle of the brood nest, is it always drawn comb or new foundations or it doesnt matter?
Welcome
so how often do u have to empty a hive or service it, if that's what u want to call it?? do u change out all of the frames every time or just some of them? if the hives are stacked up, one on top another, does each one have a queen or just one queen for all the boxes? does the frame have something for the bees to build on and deposit the honey and build the comb? what is that? do u need to wear a suit to handle the bees, or can u just do it without a suit, safety?

Why didn't you check the bottom boxes for swarm cells?

good methods!

what is the name of this type of hive?
Why would you want to build your boxes that high? Would it not be better to split them and re-queen them?
did you not watch the video? thats what it's about....answering that very question....
Do you use a queen excluder?
I've had bee hives regularly over 6 foot high with queen excluders and a national deep + super for the brood chamber, so not sure that there is really an advantage to this method. However I like the idea of the mid size and also no need for queen excluder
Going by the accent, this seems to be filmed in the UK. Especially the grass roof is a give-away.
Ireland my friend :)
They are nationals with the sides cut down. But you can buy them from thorns now
That's interesting I may try it
Heeey, I loved your house (the one at 4:50, i think it's yours).

Talk to them and get as much information from them as you can.

or two or three..I got 3 from one spot this year
Wow, a flurry 6 years ago of interest. I wonder if any updates, so will go to website unless some cares to comment.
I always comment ;) well if RUclips decides to let me know people have commented.
The new box built and populated in a week?
If you don't have a queen excluder, how do you make sure your honey isn't full of bee eggs?
what kind of flowers are you all growing?
weeds manly :) Nature provides all the flowers the bees need. But then a field full of green manures like Trifolium incarnatum and Phacelia tanacetifolia works real great too. Great for the soil too.

Do you happen to know to what extent the Irish black bees are dífferent from the Scottish black bees that I had when I was living there, and the Austrian ones that I have now? They are all Apis mellifera mellifera, rather than Apis m. carnica or Italian bees (Apis m. liguista) or Buckfast bees (Apis m. Brother Adam, or whatever?!), so I presume that as a race they must be pretty much the same in terms of characteristics and temperaments. Or?

Reading the Bibba newsletter suggests that the Irish black strain has less mixing. This can be seen by looking at the wings of the bees. Google morphometry.
When queen needs more space for eggs you can give them fev drawn empty frames but never put a box of empty feames and split the nest.
how often should change my queen?
How do you prevent the queen from moving into your honey frames and laying eggs
Can you do a video of your house as well? It's looks incredible.
Stil I would at least put 2-3 frames of brood into the box of emty frames. Bees would make a bridge betwean boxes they know and use the box faster. your way you are almost makeing a split
How often do you re-queen? Or do you? . I have always used deeps as honey supers though they weigh in full at 45 kg (100 lbs). KEEP BEES that is a great video thank you for sharing
No problem. Tim usually lets them live. I do the same also. But unless she is old we just make more splits and end up with plenty new hives full of bees and a queen.
David.
Can you take honey out as you go, and replace it with empty frames with wax in them
this guy is very smart 👌 does he have his own RUclips account?
wow
very impressive. My bees hardly fill two boxes :/
(how) does this guy threat against varroa?
Swarm cells at 8:17
two queen cells. in the midle at 48 sec
Nope. Just cups
all of them in these box just have 1 queen?
Yes! The queen is the mother of all the other bees in the hive :)
That's one busy queen, what a workload!
How can you tell brood from honey
I hope they don't mind if I answer your question :) Brood cells are always convex/domed and porous so the developing bees can breath... drone comb really REALLY is domed and sticks out. Honey is always capped smooth and somewhat concave or flat in appearance... annnd is sealed air tight. :) I hope that helped
